Captain Jarome Iginla scored his 10th playoff goal and the Flames advanced to their first Stanley Cup Finals in 15 years with a 3-1 victory over the Sharks in Game 6 Wednesday night, the first by a home team in the series! Goalie Miikka Kiprusoff pulled off an amazing 18 saves for the Flames, who took an early lead and held on well through the third period. Calgary has missed the playoffs in each of the previous seven seasons before putting together one of the most improbable playoff runs in recent history - and it’s not over yet!
Calgary hasn’t been in the NHL’s final round since winning the Stanley Cup in 1989 - and the Canadian anthem will be sung in the finals for the first time since Vancouver made it in 1994. A Canadian team hasn’t won the Cup since Montreal’s victory in 1993. The sixth seeded Flames will now open their fourth playoff series on the road Tuesday, either at Tampa Bay or Philadelphia.
Tampa is only one game away from the Final, after scoring three power plays in Tuesday’s 4-2 victory over Philadelphia. Riding the emotion of a revved-up home crowd, Tampa Bay ran roughshod over the Flyers for half the game, and built up a 3-0 lead before gradually letting Philadelphia back into it. The Flyers, who have scored only once in their past 34 power plays, still have the odds in their favour going home for Game 6 on Thursday night. No team has won two games in a row in this series, while Philadelphia has shown an ability to start quickly and play very well in its own building. Series Prediction: Tampa in Game 7 on Saturday night.
